France Detains 2,000 as Student Protests Spread Over Schools

French police have detained about 2,000 people, most of them children, since protests over school conditions began, Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin said. Demonstrations started in Paris and spread to Montpellier, Nantes and Marseille over teacher shortages, crowded classrooms and decaying buildings. The scale raises questions about how France will balance public order with rights for young protesters.
